SRF Presentation - March 2013 (7.2MB pdf)
The Passage Assessment Database (PAD), a Tool for Stream Habitat Connectivity Restoration via the Publicly Available CalFish Website
Presenters: Anne Elston, Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission, PAD Administrator
Laura Ryley, Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission, CalFish Administrator
The History of PAD
•
•
•
Developed in 2002 with guidance from the Fish Passage Forum. Developed in response to the need of a central database to house barrier data.
Initially funded by the Coastal Conservancy and has since been funded by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, US Fish and Wildlife Service and NOAA Fisheries.
Information Captured in the PAD
February 2013
Types of Barriers: o Road and Utility Crossings
o Dams, Debris Basins and Tidegates
o Flood Control Channels
o Unscreened Water Diversions
o Weirs and Grade Control Structures
o Log Jams
o Velocity Barriers
o Natural Barriers (waterfalls, grade, insufficient flow)
Additional Information:
o Removed barriers and screened diversions
o Structures where status of the barrier to fish passage is not known
o Species and stage
o Expansion of partial barriers to include temporal, temporal & partial, temporal & total
Contributors to the PAD (since 2012):
CDFW, USFS, Trout Unlimited, CalTrans, NOAA, USFWS
Users of the PAD (since 2012):
CDFW, USFS, CalTrans, Trout Unlimited, NOAA, PSMFC, TNC, DWR, USBR, UCD and Stillwater Sciences
What’s New to PAD?
o New PAD standards o New form for providing updates
What’s Coming?
o Passage status prior to removal
o Group responsible for removing the barrier o Species benefited from barrier removal

New PAD Standards
Developed to improve the PAD. The new standards affect: 1. Removed barriers
2. New PAD records
3. Locations of barriers
4. Barrier status designations
We would like: 1. Fish presence evidence (i.e., photos, fish counts) after barrier removal. 2. Site visits of barriers to determine that they are still there prior to entering them into the database.
3. Description of location if latitude or longitude isn’t accurate.
4. Barrier status from a fish passage professional. Two new barrier statuses have been added to the PAD: 1. Unassessed ‐ Structure identified but no evidence of a site survey. 2. Remediated, fish presence unconfirmed.
